  • Disgusting promotes violence

    Was listening to the July 9th episode and this creature thinks it was good a political figure was assassinated in the French Revolution because she does not like his ideology. I am beyond disgusted and the constant insults at American Republicans is ridiculous. This is the type of claptrap that incites violence because it tells other lower functioning individuals that prescribe to this way of thinking that violence is acceptable. Well it isn’t. I have lost any respect had for this podcaster and ... more

  • History:Gossip about the dead

    I was a history major; 3.94 GPA at the end of my college career; Olivet College 2007–teaching degree.

    I know how to research. I know how to write. I wish this podcast had been around during my college years! This woman completely understands her subjects and makes them current. I know many of these topics inside out and backward, but using trends and current language to bring everyone to life is brilliant. (I did this, too, during my teaching era.)

    I am thoroughly impressed by the quality of ... more

  • Enjoyable

    I did enjoy this podcast I listened to the Mary Queen Of Scot series the story’s are very good and told in a very non boring way ( other history podcasts are extremely boring) But I did find it very biased. I know it’s a feminist podcast. But I feel there is more emphasis on hating men than just telling the story. Personally I prefer to just hear the facts and make up my own mind.

  • Basically, like…no.

    I wanted to like this podcast, but the amateur presentation makes it hard to listen. The constant use of ‘like’ and ‘basically’ in nearly every sentence is incredibly distracting. The host is clearly passionate about history, but the delivery doesn’t work for anyone over the age of 12.
